New Mexico Pedestrian Crashes

A pedestrian will almost certainly suffer more severe injuries in a collision with a vehicle. According to data from the local authorities, 40 people were struck and died in Albuquerque and the unincorporated Bernalillo County in 2022, down from 49 in 2021. The State Police investigated five of the 33 fatal collisions that took place inside municipal borders last year. New Mexico has a high rate of pedestrian deaths, and those impacted may be eligible to recover lost compensation for their injuries. 

Automobile collision-related discomfort, rehabilitation costs, and escalating medical costs are tough to manage for accident victims. To make matters worse, many crash victims are unable to work. When their costs rise, and their earnings become more limited, they find themselves in a challenging predicament. Due to their circumstances, many of our customers are concerned about losing their houses. Few people realize how difficult it might be to prove a car accident. After a few weeks of waiting, they expect to do some paperwork and get paid by mail. Regrettably, a lot of insurance providers might not be cooperative.
